As long as the price is right the 94 940 Turbo is a very nice car!!! 87K is a young one too. Sometime the turbos can really suffer from previous owner neglect (I own 2 that are that way). At 87K you should be in good shape. I'd check the turbo hoses for holes/wear those can really affect performance and lead to some costly repairs. The radiator is another source that needs attention, the origanal volvo radiators are a little crappy and don't hold up well on turbo. You are looking at a really nice car that should be a blast to drive. They also have a very engine with piston oil cooling and longer pistons, which means it is very robust and should not have the piston slap problems the older turbo motors have (pre 93) and I own 2 pre 93 turbo engines and they both have the piston slap.
